De'Aaron Fox Traded To The Spurs
15 mins agoAccording to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Spurs, Bulls, and Kings completed a three-team deal, resulting in guard De'Aaron Fox (and guard Jordan McLaughlin) heading to San Antonio. Also included in the trade; guard Kevin Huerter, forward/center Zach Collins, and guard Tre Jones will move to Chicago while the Kings will add guard Zach LaVine and guard Sidy Cissoko to the roster. The 2017 No. 5 overall pick has spent his entire career in Sacramento, averaging 21.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 514 regular-season games. Reports regarding Fox's desire to head to the Spurs intensified over the last few weeks. But he'll get his wish and will now be paired with up-and-coming center Victor Wembanyama and future Hall of Fame guard Chris Paul. Fox should continue to get his minutes, and it's likely a change of scenery will give him added motivation to be even more productive moving forward. With that in mind, having Fox on the roster should mean less work for Stephon Castle, although the rookie could benefit in the years ahead now that he's playing alongside and learning from another All-Star.
